The Aerie
*Whew* Another crazy day! It's Wednesday already fercryinoutloud! I
walked into the Blue Moon this evening, and there was a new City
Pages. "Huh" I thought, "they're delivering on Tuesday now."
Days like this make it really hard to maintain perspective and focus.
Just making a few notes in a day-planner are about all I can
accomplish towards organization. Tomorrow promises no better, with
four separate meetings, in four different locations!
I got a radio installed in my latest crapmobile, making the drives a
little more pleasant, except of course I'm still waiting for an
antenna to come in, so my reception stinks. But the weather... ah,
spring!
Listening to the radio led to my breaking one of my personal rules --
not to call radio talk shows on my cell phone. But I felt this was
important enough to warrant the effort and expense I talked to
Governor Ventura, I think it was yesterday. Yesterday? Yeah, it
wasn't today, so it must have been yesterday. I asked him not to sign
this horrid "baby drop-off" bill, but he wouldn't listen. So soon
we'll have legal baby-abandonment in the state, and the adoption
agencies will leap for joy. "Free product to sell!"
Sorry, but as one of the kids who went through the adoption process,
I'm not a big fan of the system. It wraps itself in
'we're-helping-kids' sentiments, while treating the actual children
like a commodity to be sold. And it sweeps its abuses -- of
birthmothers, adoptive parents, and the children -- under the rug of
"closed records."
Sorry, screed off.
So I called, I talked to him, and he gave the
reasonable-but-unenlightened response that "if one child is saved,"
lacking of course any real evidence that any babies WILL be saved.
*Sigh*
But that was yesterday. Today, was a blur. And now it's Wednesday
night, and soon Friday. I can't keep up.
Oy.
